That blooming' Nigella has a lot to answer for......:mad::p;)

I watched her Chrimbo special the other night and was intrigued by her bundt pans, (no sniggering!). So, today I am browsing through the bric a brac in the Oxfam shop when I comes across, yep you guessed it.....a bundt pan!! Half the size of Nige's, brand new and very heavy. Lots of intricate little ridges and pointy bits.... so cute and priced at £1.49 - I just could not resist even tho I do not bake and hate cooking! So now I'm gonna have to find a recipe to try it out aint I?

It's all Nigella's fault :rotfl:

That I have to say is a complete bargain!!! Large bundts are normally very pricey, the more intricate the work the more coveted and expensive they get. I think the cheapest BN I bought was a small one with a v simple design from Lidl that was £2.99.

Just make sure you oil it thoroughly and leave the comtents to cool completely though, to get a sharp-edged finished product. Please do place a picture of the results on the "What have you baked today thread".

Nothing much to catch my eye at all in the two charity shops I went in today, and the third one I went to was closed. Shame, as it looked like it might have had some good stuff in.

I did manage to get a free t-shirt off the Hospice shop as I mentioned I'm doing a New Years dip in the sea for them, so I was pleased with that!

I know!! Whilst I was there, the Hospice chazzer had a monkey onesie for £3.50, I dithered over buying it, so didn't, but wish I had now, as it would be perfect to try and keep me warm. I'll go back down tomorrow and hope it's still there!

Bought a full set of 1950s Sheffield EPNS cutlery in original case with original tissue paper and guarantee for a tenner. The case is a bit worn but I don't think the cutlery has been used, I think it was probably a wedding present 'saved for best'. I love it and it will now be used and enjoyed.
